The
Au24 Modular Line Array looked
alluring and sounded inviting. John
McDonald, partner, and Richard
Smith, designer, sat Henry and me
down for a listening session. The
Au24ís are stackable loudspeakers,
with an incredibly low moving mass of
1.8 grams each, allowing for rise times
similar to electrostatic designs.
Starting prices begin at $7,000 for a
powered pair and $3,500 for the
un-powered version. An all-out, fully
stacked array of Au24 Modules
($55,000) brings distortion levels down
to whatís normally expected from
amplifiers. Each Au24 Module is
powered by two 100-watt-continuous RMS,
audiophile quality, minimalist
amplifiers built specially to power the
Au24 Modular Line Array. The amps do not
limit performance in any way. For
